I agree. The health care industry needs to get flipped on it's heads and quit charging $75 for a freekin bandaid. The ridiculous charges they give people need to be regulated more closely. It shouldn't cost someone 15 grand to have a broken leg fixed I don't care WHO is paying for it, in the end we all are and that's BS.
